Very Good

I made this Sunday and it was very good. The spice blend is very Moroccan. Its a very easy dish to assemble. I went with 21/25 gulf shrimp. I lightly pureed the cilantro, lemon juice, and a little o.o.and tossed them with the cooked shrimp to get a light coating of the mixture. It was nice.

I want to make this again using ras-El-hanout in place of the dry spices.
